Spike Lee and Russell Westbrook in NYC Monday || Credit: Jordan

The newest product of the Air Jordan signature series -- the Jordan XX8 sneakers -- will make its NBA debut when Russell Westbrook wears them Tuesday night in the Barclays Center against the Brooklyn Nets. And no player is better suited to do so than Westbrook.

The Oklahoma City Thunder point guard said the way the shoe wears is the most important aspect. "It's very light and it's very comfortable," he said. But you better believe that the original design of the sneaker was appealing to him as well.

On the surface, the watch looks funny, with big colorful numbers around the face. And then you notice the numbers aren't in order. The hour hand jumps every time the minute hand completes its revolution. The watch was created to show how a person can break away from the everyday routine of the 24-hour day. Originality at its finest. It's like the watch was custom-made for Westbrook.

You could say the same about the XX8s. Like the Franck Muller watch, the shoes will most definitely get the job done. The watch will tell time, the shoes will allow a player comfort and stability on the court. Both the watch and the shoe will do what they're respectively designed to do, just differently than other products.

“I don’t think of these things as basketball shoes," said Jordan Brand sneaker lead designer Tinker Hatfield. "I think of them as pieces of art.”
